Steps:
- In a saucepan, combine broth, 2 cups water, lemon zest, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium. Swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Add onion, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until translucent and grains begin to make a popping sound, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in wine and saffron; cook until wine is mostly evaporated, about 30 seconds.
- Ladle 1 cup broth mixture into skillet. Stir with a wooden spoon at a moderate speed until most of broth is absorbed and bottom of skillet stays visible for a second or two as you mix, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue ladling broth into skillet, about 1/2 cup at a time (or enough to just cover rice). Stir slowly but constantly, allowing rice to absorb most of broth before adding more. Risotto is ready when rice is al dente and broth has thickened to a rich sauce, 20 to 25 minutes. (You may not need to use all of broth.) Add shrimp and peas to skillet with last addition of broth; cook until shrimp are opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in butter, lemon juice, and cheese; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with more cheese and pepper to serve. If the risotto becomes stiff before serving, stir in more hot broth, a little at a time, until it's loose and creamy.
ASPARAGUS, PEA AND SAFFRON RISOTTO (WITH SHRIMP) RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Number Of Ingredients 17
Steps:
- If using shrimp, use 2-3 large pieces per serving. Remove the tail, place in a small bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil, a splash of white wine, a squeeze of lemon juice, one small clove of freshly minced garlic, and a little salt and pepper and set aside. Heat chicken stock in medium saucepan. In a separate saucepan, heat garlic and and shallots in olive oil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Add rice and stir to coat for a few seconds. Add wine and a half cup of chicken stock. Stir frequently until liquid is mostly absorbed, then add another half cup of stock and saffron. Allow to absorb, and then add another half cup of stock, repeating the process until the stock has been mostly absorbed (about 20-25 minutes). Rice should be tender but slightly firm, and risotto should have a thick creamy consistency. Meanwhile (within 10 minutes of the risotto being ready): In a small skillet, heat about 1 Tbsp olive oil, and 1 small pat of unsalted butter. Saute the asparagus until just al dente--about 7 minutes. Set aside. In the same pan, cook the shrimp until pink-- about 2 minutes per side. Once the risotto is finished, remove from heat and stir in lemon juice**, lemon zest, parmigiano reggiano, asparagus and frozen peas. Add salt to taste. Garnish with grated cheese and lemon zest. Top with shrimp, if serving. **add about 1/2 the lemon juice, and taste. Add more, if you prefer for the lemon citrus taste to come through.
RISOTTO WITH SHRIMP, ASPARAGUS, AND PEAS
Steps:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the stock to a gentle simmer and maintain over low heat. In a large, heavy saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the rice and stir until each grain is well coated with oil and translucent with a white dot in the center, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and stir until it is completely absorbed. Add the simmering stock a ladleful at a time, stirring frequently after each addition. Wait until the stock is almost completely absorbed (but the rice is never dry on top) before adding the next ladleful. After 10 minutes of cooking, add the asparagus. When the rice is almost tender and looks creamy, after about 20 minutes, add the peas and shrimp. (If a softer rice is desired, continue to cook and add broth until you reach the desired level of tenderness.) Cook a few more minutes, until the shrimp are pink and the peas are heated through; remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve at once.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and fennel and saute for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender. Add the rice and stir for a minute to coat with the vegetables, oil, and butter. Add the white wine and simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until most of the wine has been absorbed. Add the chicken stock, 2 ladles at a time, stirring almost constantly and waiting for the stock to be absorbed before adding more. This process should take 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the asparagus diagonally in 1 1/2-inch lengths and discard the tough ends. Blanch in boiling salted water for 4 to 5 minutes, until al dente. Drain and cool immediately in ice water. (If using fresh peas, blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes until the starchiness is gone.)
- When the risotto has been cooking for 15 minutes, drain the asparagus and add it to the risotto with the peas, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Continue cooking and adding stock, stirring almost constantly, until the rice is tender but still firm.
- Whisk the lemon juice and mascarpone together in a small bowl. When the risotto is done, turn off the heat and stir in the mascarpone mixture plus the Parmesan cheese and chives. Set aside, off the heat, for a few minutes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve hot with a sprinkling of chives and more Parmesan cheese.

SHRIMP RISOTTO WITH PEAS
Shrimp shells are used here to make a subtle shellfish broth for the risotto. Make sure you don't overcook the shrimp; they will take only four to five minutes to cook, and the contrast of their succulent texture against the chewy rice will be lost if the shrimp become rubbery.

Steps:
- Shell the shrimp and de-vein if necessary. Salt them lightly, and set aside in a bowl (in the refrigerator, if you won't be making and serving the risotto right away). Rinse the shells, and combine them with 5 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, skim off foam, reduce the heat to low and simmer partly covered for 30 minutes. Strain and add to the chicken stock or water. Taste, add enough salt to make a well seasoned broth and bring to a simmer in a saucepan.
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a large nonstick frying pan or a large, wide saucepan. Add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, three to five minutes, and then add the rice and the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate and beginning to crackle.
- Stir in the wine, and cook over medium heat, stirring. The wine should bubble, but not too quickly. You want some of the flavor to cook into the rice before it evaporates. When the wine has just about evaporated, stir in a ladleful or two of the simmering stock, enough to just cover the rice. The stock should bubble slowly. Cook, stirring often, until it is almost absorbed. Add another couple of ladles of the stock. Crush the saffron threads between your fingers and stir in. Continue to cook, stirring often - not too fast and not too slowly, adding more stock when the rice is almost dry - for 20 minutes.
- Taste a bit of the rice. It should taste chewy but not hard in the middle. Continue adding simmering stock and stirring until the rice reaches this al dente stage. Stir in more stock to cover, and add the peas and the shrimp. Cook, stirring, for another four to five minutes, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through but still moist and the peas are bright. Stir in the parsley and another small ladle of stock, remove from the heat, add pepper, stir for a few seconds and serve.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, prep all your ingredients and have them measured and ready to go. This will make the cooking process much smoother and easier.
- Use the right rice: For risotto, you'll want to use a short-grain rice like Arborio, Carnaroli, or Vialone Nano. These rices have a high starch content, which will help the risotto achieve its creamy texture.
- Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before adding the liquid will help to bring out its flavor and prevent it from sticking together.
- Add the liquid gradually: Add the liquid to the rice in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming too soupy.
- Cook the risotto until it is al dente: Risotto should be cooked until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. It should not be too soft or mushy.
- Stir in the vegetables and shrimp: Once the risotto is cooked, stir in the vegetables and shrimp. Cook until the shrimp is cooked through and the vegetables are heated through.
- Finish the risotto with butter and cheese: Finally, stir in the butter and cheese until the risotto is creamy and smooth. Serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. With a little practice, you can master the art of making risotto and impress your friends and family with this classic Italian dish.
